Ha me too

That clip always reminds me of animal from the muppets. And of course EVERY time I hear BR on the radio I now hear that version.

hell yes. Now you'll really be able to enjoy that boat for what it was made for. Good wake makes all the difference It was already enough for wakeboarding, just not surfing. Now it should do that too. If not another 400lb in the left locker will solve that, but I thought I'd add that in stages as I don't really want to add another pump and switch and wire and that bs. efffffff yewwwwww. I haven't been on a boat (except to fish... twice I think) all summer. You live in Texas

Even if the mileage gets worse, I am not sure I care. Could take me from 200gal/year to 250 and that $200 spent on gas is a get to, not a have to.

They sell the LSA motor as an option. 555hp and 545ft lb. Haven't brought it up, it gets better "mileage" but that isn't fair.

Da bears suck

I'd expect anywhere from 40-100HP at the crank. I haven't pulled the plastic on the motor, almost looks like the airbox has a helmholtz tune as its rather big. Charging may make that have to go away, but I won't be happy if it resonates at cruise. Might be able to relocate it though although that will change its dynamics a bit. Can't find cam specs online, but have thought about measuring it to cross reference.

Yep, I eventually killed that motor. Parted out the car, but kept the charger. Figured I probably wouldn't buy another in my life as I'd buy Turbo's most likely if I were building a car, but at the same time thought a fun project might just eventually roll my way. And that of course is half the reason. The other is that it is inconsequential money to do the rest. I really just need a few pipes and a tune.

Yay, 2 stroke!

I did always want to cripple that boat with a 4 or 5 blade 24p and watch it JUMP on plane

Ah, makes sense now. What kind of boat? Danzi or Foutain or something similar? Ranger, lol. Knew you had one, but god damn I had no idea they went like that. Has that been sold yet? The only fishing boats the store dad used to work at carried were Trackers, lol so high end ones are foreign to me. Mine has the cheater setup. 250xs making 286hp, big ass Bob's hydraulic jack plate, and a custom tuned 27p prop. Top end is insane, in particular when she starts to chine walk pretty bad North of 70. Takes someone with some driving savvy to handle, in particular on Tonka. The Hot Foot helps HUGE.

Black Flag? You? Not to listen to, to piss people off with. And of course only to teach them a lesson and in retaliation. I used to be a Sound Engineer, but also the manager of the bar I worked at. When we closed I had to stay until people left. I found the easiest way to get people to leave was to play Black Flag so loud that they couldn't talk. Usually took less than 5 minutes to empty the bar. Fuck yelling last call and gtfu out a bunch. Black Flag baby. And yes, used to be a huge Rollins nut. Fun to watch live that is for sure. lol I would probably leave too. Decent band. Not a big punk fan either. Pixies onwards for me Funny, I ripped Doolittle onto a memory stick for the boat the first day I went out.

I LOVE to fish

Its the not getting up and putting on bindings that are too small that wears me out the most.

Sweet. Actually the first time I had ever skied in a dual boot. Took me three tries to get up, but again considering its been 3 years and only 3 times in 15 that isn't too bad. After that first try every time

Fucking planes NOW though

It'll do around 38mph....but I am coming off a near 80mph boat. It feels like its CRAWLING.

ALMOST went barefooting this weekend. Have only skied 3x in the past 15 years and tore it up major on Saturday. Sunday morning it was gorgeous and I was about to go kill myself (ie fall at 40mph) and then had the revelation that after abusing my body on the sky all day Saturday I really didn't have the strength to use my flippy floppies as skies.

It now has MN registration as well. Fucking impossible to get that shit straight in the water, lol. either way I'll pull it off this fall and re-do it as there was some residue from the previous adhesive that was a bitch to get off in the lake. Neighbors laughed at me as I was using a heatgun standing in the water. Guess it should have an anti-bathtub sticker on it too

Pulled the stock rear ballast out of the boat today. 150lb hard tank out, 1100lb fat sac in

Hoping Jacob's Neo's end up being the ticket. Going to build some different tower speakers over the winter and will mate with some compression drivers. Sick of some dumbass playing shitty music tied up and having his tower speakers on so everyone else has to listen to it. Of course I will carry a few Black Flag albums and plenty of Opera. If they want to play, I'll play.
